Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our team is looking for an individual who can help us connect with sponsors and partners for Boston Pride event THE ROAD OF RAINBOWS. The primary project requirements include:

  • Researching local companies and organizations that support the LGBTQ+ community
  • Be the main liaison between BTC staff and community partners
  • Organizing and distributing Road of Rainbow materials to potential partners
  • Pitching Road of Rainbows to new memnbers

This is a great project for students to prove their research and communication skills to future employers, as the impact of their work on this project can be easily measured and communicated.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

This student will meet with BTC staff weekly and work closely with our entire Road of Rainbows Team

About the company

The mission of Boston Theater Company is to create new work while pushing the boundaries of theatre by exploring new ways to tell stories. We are rooted in the power theater has to unite, uncover and illuminate. We tell innovative stories that showcase the complexity of the human condition.

In 2021, Boston Theater Company (BTC) took a chance and brought the world of theater and sports together by launching the Road of Rainbows (ROR) 5K. This was the first ever fully inclusive LGBTQ+ 3.1 mile race Boston. At ROR everyone is welcome! We've removed gender requirements upon sign up (a very rare thing for athletic events), worked with a dedicated group of LGBTQ+ BIPOC counselors tasked with making the event something special, and held it at the historic Boston Common, a fully accessible location! Our pilot event in 2021 was so overwhelmingly positive that we're RORing back in 2022 and holding this event on PRIDE WEEKEND!
